Simar Singh Email & Phone Number

Simar Singh is a clinical psychology doctoral student in the Lowe Lab at Drexel University. She graduated from UC Berkeley in 2016, with a double major in Integrative Biology and Psychology. After graduating, she performed clinical research at UCSF in two labs: the Eating Disorders Program (EDP), and the Bush Lab. As clinical research coordinator for the EDP, she performed research investigating the efficacy of eating disorder treatments, including the coordination of an R01 examining the efficacy and mechanism of an adaptive family-based treatment for adolescent anorexia. As a research assistant for the Bush Lab, she assisted primarily on the TIDES study, a longitudinal, multi-site study investigating the effects of environmental toxins (namely, phthalates) and maternal stress, on child development. She has published in the area of eating disorders treatment outcomes. Simar hopes to focus her graduate research on the neurobiological bases of eating disorders - how genes and neural structure function to promote and maintain disordered eating.
